Knowledge transfer and digitalization

The market ramp-up of a green hydrogen economy in Central Germany and nationwide is about to be implemented in the coming years. This goes hand in hand with the use of corresponding technologies in the areas of renewable energies, electrolysis, transport and storage technologies as well as their future use in the chemical industry, refineries, mobility and energy supply. Hydrogen technologies have been in use for decades and SMEs and research institutions in the region combine high levels of expertise in the areas of electrical and geotechnical engineering, mechanical engineering, safety and process and materials engineering, among others. It is important to combine this as best as possible with the challenges of the energy transition and the cross-sector possible uses of green hydrogen. The market ramp-up will require specialists from different professional groups and levels of training with different information and knowledge needs. This requires competent actors who support them with specialist knowledge and technical skills and who develop tailor-made training and further education opportunities. Products and services from the area of ​​digitalization will make an important contribution to further accelerating the market ramp-up for green hydrogen.

The Knowledge Transfer and Digitalization-Cluster advises and supports HYPOS members, among other things:

• when advising on training and further education opportunities with a hydrogen focus,
• in the development of individual training and further education offers for heterogeneous target groups and
• in networking with relevant regional and national partners.
